Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
I guess that sums it up good. Hopefully you don't have bad feelings towards the actors involved (especially Mandy Moore), because you wouldn't be able to like or enjoy the movie otherwise. But Martin Freeman and Moore do have a special chemistry and it works for the purpose of the movie. It's not that you will be cheering at the screen (I'm assuming here), but you will like them.If that is not enough, maybe the decent comedy in place will please you. The theme is an adult one, which although there is not that much going on (explicit wise), the movie is rated R in America. In Germany and other European countries this probably looks different, because it is tame by their standards. A heads up to what you may expect.
The most cliché gathered Movie I have ever seen. An Indian, with the oh so funny (?) Indian/English accent, the gay Spanish man with a lisp, the french gay guy that wishes he was a woman, the traditional Asian woman at the Nail salon,who of course, gets into your conversation and is, of course, very "sexually outspoken".Men who goes to the same Nail salon and sits there with facial masks and "treats themselves" and is talking to the same Asian woman.I mean come on.Think of all the bad lines, scenes that are supposed to be funny, that you just roll your Eyes at, all the American Pie Movies, take them and put them in a blender. Out comes this Movie.Enjoy.
I really enjoyed this film. It has some very funny moments including a great scene with Melissa George and another brilliant set piece with Mandy Moore. As far as romcoms go, I thought this had something to say about modern relationships and I certainly related to the idea of a stale marriage! Good performances from Freeman and Moore and a scene stealing cameo from Angus Deayton. Overall, this is very watchable.Compared to some of the bad romcoms we get fed from America, this stands out as an original, fresh, funny movie and does what it says on the tin... Entertains for 90 minutes... And it's British too! Hooray for British film!
This movie has some really funny moments, considerable charm, and a nice sensibility, all too rare in most modern British films.If you are married (or have ever been in a relationship of more than five minutes), you will be able to identify with the Finkels' problems and be amused by the varied and intriguing solutions they come up with to add some spice to their ailing sex life. There is also a nice contrast with the other main couple and we see how both couples deal with the same problem in rather different ways.The unusual locations in London were used to great effect and the art direction was excellent.PS: After watching this film cucumbers will always make you smile.
